A win is a win is a win....we didn't play our best, but move on to the next round just the same. We got to try to improve on the same ole things: making point-blank baskets and free throws. We were shooting around 50-52% at the half, but dropped off big time to finish 44%. Coates is going to get fouled a ton in her career: hopefully she does better than 5-13 from this point forward...

If we can't play any better defense on one player than we did on Sharpe, Diamond Deshields is going to pose a very big problem

IMO, we just got caught by one of the "others": Sharpe only averaged 12.5 ppg for the Matadors this season. Guay - the girl who hit her head guarding Coates and was sobbing - was not only their top scorer this season (16.3 ppg), she was their conference's player of the year. We obviously had a game-plan to shut her down, which we did holding her to 0 first-half points, and 6 pts total. Lister was their #2 scorer (15.3 ppg), and we held her to 9 pts total. Sharpe just went off on us, but we played her better in the 2nd half...

I think DeShields would be a player that we would not overlook, to begin a game...

Hey guys, if this has been answered already I apologize. How come our lady Gamecocks have to play on the west coast when all the other #1 seeds that I've seen had their opening round games at home?

Because they don't want to put a #1 Seed somewhere they might be a visiting team, and Los Angelos and Toledo were the only other places (UCLA, Washington and Toledo were the only host teams not make the tournament) and Notre Dame has priority over USC because they are nationally seeded higher than USC, Also it makes no sense to send ND to Seattle or Los Angelos which will be in Stanford's Region when when Notre Dame will be hosting their OWN region. So ND gets to go to Toledo, which leaves Los Angelos and Seattle which really neither is all that closer than the other. It makes sense to put the 9 seed Oregon State in Seattle which matches with our 1 seed and send 13 Fresno to Los Angelos which matches with Nebraska's seed.

You leave enough people open someone who can make shots is just going to make them. Some of those scoop shots and reverse shots those girls were making were flat out ridiculous. No one can defend against that.

It looks like our game Tuesday is the only one in the next round NOT televised. wtf

Our game should be on ESPN2 in the local area . In other areas it should be on ESPN3 . The ESPN3 games are also being carried by T-W Carolinas on channels 392 through 395 , at least they were on Sunday night . Nor sure what other cable systems (or satellite) are doing .
